Dove Lake Circuit
Hiking area
👍👍 Dove Lake will take you about 90 minutes at a good pace, is mostly flat on a good trail and achievable by most visitors (though not by wheelchairs). Despite this, few of the visitors to the park will bother with it, and will instead head right to the boat house, and left to the lookout, then catch t...

East Peak (Mount Barney)
Hiking area
👍👍 Very challenging hike but rewarding in the end. Definitely choose a day with good weather to attempt the summit or else you'll be in a cloud with minimal visibility.

Clarke Gorge walking track
Hiking area
👍👍 Most stunning hike I’ve ever done! Worth the drive but 4WD or at least SUV highly recommended to get here… starts from the campground. You will cross the river many times so I ended up walking most of the way barefoot which isn’t so smart I know. Next time I’ll bring crocs LOL

Antarctic Beech Forest walking track
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Fascinating nature walk, with easy gradients. Accessibility from parking area was very good, however, the tracks were often not distinct and the available printed and plaque maps were overly simplistic and not accurate or helpful.

Booti walking track
Hiking area
👍👍 You can do this track from Elizabeth Beach to The Ruins campground, or as a loop by combining it with the Lakeside Walking track next to Wallis Lake. The Booti Hill section is hard going with steep climbs at each end and the track is quite eroded in parts. Plenty of tree cover so even on warm days y...

The Castle
Hiking area
👍👍 Hard walk. Not for the faint hearted (especially those afraid of heights or tight spaces) or the inexperienced. The bush is quite overgrown and there are lots of fallen trees and branches to navigate through on top of squeezing yourself through narrow rock passageways and climbing up ropes. Abseilin...

West White Beach Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 Superb trek, although a little technical... Be ready to climb down using a rope and ladder, under pretty intense heat. The first part of the treks goes downhill, while you'll only be climbing on your way back. That being said, it's a great place to see red and coconut crabs in the forest, and herm...
